The Social Construction of Rationality
Policy Debates and the Power of Good Reasons

Political Economy and Policy Analysis
2018 || Paperback || Antonio Merle || Taylor & Francis
Most of economics takes politics for granted. Through some (often implausible) assumptions, it seeks to explain away political structures by characterizing them as stable and predictable or as inconsequential in understanding what goes on in an economy.
